Full List of New Disney Movies in 2025 (Chronological)

Major Upcoming Disney Movies Announced (2026 & Beyond)

Besides our new Disney movies 2025 list, we thought it would be a good idea to mention other huge projects in the not too distant future. There is certainly plenty to look forward to. Here are some of the major releases for 2026 and 2027 that have been confirmed so far. 

Zootopia 2 – Everything We Know So Far

Director: Jared Bush, Byron Howard

Cast: Jason Bateman, Quinta Brunson, Ginnifer Goodwin

With an expected release date of November 26, 2025, this sequel to the beloved Zootopia is eagerly anticipated. Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde must stop a turkey vulture named Kim Wing-Un who wants to take over Zootopia. We can expect to see a much larger catalogue of animals and reptiles this next time around. 

Moana Live-Action Remake Details

Director: Thomas Kail

Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Frankie Adams, Catherine Laga’aia

The anticipated release date of this film is July 10, 2026, though we’ll see if that changes. It is a live-action remake of the 2016 animated film and Dwayne Johnson will once again play Maui, just as he did in the animated movie. This marks the first time an actor played the same Disney role in the live-action version. 

Frozen 3 Release Timeline

Director: Jennifer Lee, Marc Smith

Cast: Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad, Idina Menzel

Currently set for November 24th, 2027, little has been revealed about the storyline other than that we’ll learn more about Elsa’s powers, how they came to be, and their connection to a mysterious lost kingdom. Also of note, Frozen 4 will be filmed at the same time, though nothing has been stated about when to expect its release. 

Avengers: Doomsday

Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo

Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Pedro Pascal, Chris Hemsworth

Marvel has purposefully kept a lot about Doomsday under wraps, but what we do know is that it is slated to come out May 1st, 2026, that Robert Downey Jr. will play Doctor Doom, and that it will have a massive cast of fan favorites returning, including many of the X-men from the 2000 film. 

Spiderman: Brand New Day

Director: Destin Daniel Cretton

Cast: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink

Set after the events of Avengers: Doomsday, this newest Spidey is set to release July 31, 2026. Not much has been revealed, just that Peter Parker is determined to put his Spiderman activities to the side only to have a serious threat force him to pick up the suit once again. 

Ice Age 6

Director: Unknown

Cast: Ray Romano, Simon Pegg, Queen Latifah, John Leguizamo

Set for release on December 18, 2026, the story has so far been kept under wraps so we really don’t know what to expect. That said, it looks like the original cast is back, and that’s always a must-have for any sequel. 

Avengers: Secret Wars

Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo

Cast: Anthony Mackie, Pedro Pascal, Robert Downey Jr.

With a release date so far in the future (May 7, 2027), we know even less about this Avenger’s installment than we do Doomsday. Originally, this follow-up to Doomsday was supposed to be released only 6 months after, but scheduling issues pushed that out to a full year. 

Star Wars: Starfighter

Director: Shawn Levy

Cast: Ryan Gosling

Set to come out in May of 2027, this new Star Wars movie will star Ryan Gosling. Set a few years after Rise of Skywalker, it will be a standalone movie, not connected with any of the other films in the franchise.

How to Watch New Disney Movies

If you’re dying to see the new Disney movies coming out, you really have two options. As many on our list are only going to be theatrical releases, initially your first decision will be whether to see it in theatres or wait until it comes to Disney+. That is, unless you have a specific film you’re interested in and don’t want to mess with other Disney titles. In this case, you can likely rent it on other platforms, using sites such as Amazon or Fandango to watch Disney movies online. 

As for Disney+ pricing, it ranges from $9.99 USD per month with ads, to $15.99 per month with no ads. From there, it can get rather complex with various bundling plans that include Hulu, ESPN, and Max subscriptions. There are also additional fees for extra members. That said, you can get some pretty good deals on multiple streaming services if you want variety. 

Don’t Miss These Disney Classics Returning in 2025

Disney knows how powerful nostalgia can be and they have plenty of movies that will scratch that itch. Besides a wide library of their timeless classics, their remakes, reboots, and sequels allow you to return to the characters and settings you love. Keep an eye out for films like Freakier Friday (the original was amazing), the new Fantastic Four reboot, Tron: Ares, Snow White, Lilo & Stitch, and Zootopia 2. Lastly, if you want to know other movies besides Disney titles, here’s our 2025 movies guide.
